Making Preserves

Oven function: Bottom heat
• For preserving, use only commercially available preserve jars of the same size.
• Jars with twist-off or bayonet type lids and metal tins are not suitable.
• When making preserves, use the first shelf position from the bottom.
• Use the baking tray for making preserves. There is enough room on this for up to six 1-
litre preserving jars.
• The jars should all be filled to the same level and clamped shut.
• Place the jars on the baking tray in such a way that they are not touching each other.
• Pour approx. 1/2 litre of water into the baking tray so that sufficient moisture is pro-
duced in the oven.
• As soon as the liquid in the first jars starts to simmer (after approx. 35-60 minutes for
1 litre jars), switch off the oven or adjust the temperature to 100°C (see table).
